Philips SHQ3000 Earhook Earbuds Review

Philips did a complete turnaround when they developed these Philips SHQ3000 Action Fit Earhook Sports Headphones. These are so much better than the SHQ1000-28 offering. Unlike some of the other earhook-featuring earbuds we’ve reviewed, these Philips SHQ3000s route the audio cable in a better way.  They use the earhook itself as a router.  So, the cable … Continue reading Philips SHQ3000 Earhook Earbuds Review



Sony MDR EX10LP Earbuds Review

The Sony Make Believe MDR-EX10LP Earbuds excel in their punchy mid range. But they suffer from weak bass as well as treble response. About the 9mm dome drivers here.  They cut the really highs and really lows. So  what you gain in small design, you lose in richness of sound. But on the bright side, … Continue reading Sony MDR EX10LP Earbuds Review



Apple Headphones Volume Control Gripe

Our one BIG complaint about the Apple Headphones Volume Control as it functions on the various generations of the  iPod Touch, is that the UP and DOWN increments that the volume control keys generate when pressed are too big. In version 5.1 of the Apple firmware (the latest version supported on our Touch from 2010), you only get 16 steps to go … Continue reading Apple Headphones Volume Control Gripe

iWorld Stealth Earbuds Review

They refer to these iWorld Stealth Earbuds as Stealth Sound, presumably, because those around you will not hear your music if you’re properly wearing these. As is typical for iWorld, they again devised a cheap, reasonably well performing headset for CD and MP3 player users. The Stealth Sound series is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and … Continue reading iWorld Stealth Earbuds Review

Auvio 3300352 Earbuds Review

These  Auvio 3300352 Earbuds, Element Headphones, we paid $13 for on sale some years back at Radio Shack (normally $19.99).  They designed these buds  with a great bass response.  And boy, do they have awesome bass!  Not just boomy bass either. For the notably small size of the ear drivers, you get quite deep tones, … Continue reading Auvio 3300352 Earbuds Review



Auvio 3300465 Kids Earbuds Review

Auvio 3300465 kids earbuds are definitely for the novice listener.  Not the audiophile.  In this Auvio® earbuds review, we feel guilty saying that these are high fidelity earphones.  Nowhere close to it. The treble frequencies are muted and distorted, and the bass is weak, with some of the lowest bass notes in my favorite songs missing … Continue reading Auvio 3300465 Kids Earbuds Review
